We all need motivation sometimes, especially in Rogers Park. Last summer, I posted a Vbody Power Fitness workout every morning here on Rogers Park in 1,000 Words. Randy of Vbody is located at 7301 N. Sheridan Road and his videos often feature some familiar Rogers Park locales.

Those that have been following RP1000 since 2013 can recall Summertime!

"Any one can give up, its easy to do!!! But to hold it together when everybody expects you to give up is True Strength!!!!

You can never give up its just that simple!!! Just some shots of me getting my workout on! explosive pushups med ball slams, plyo box jumps and tons more"
